To test the predictions of this model, we use data from 13 US states who passed pay transparency laws protecting the “right of workers to talk” (ROWTT) about wages prior to federal policies extending these rights to all government contract workers in 2016. Using a multi-period difference-in-differences (“event study”) design, we find that ROWTT laws decrease the average wages of full-time workers by roughly 2% over the three years following enactment.
The size of this effect is mediated by the degree of individual bargaining power that workers have before the enactment of these laws. We find a negligible impact on the wages of unionized occupations and a bigger impact on wages of college-educated workers with higher individual bargaining power, whose wages decline on average by 4%

"He has kind of an old-school cyber-libertarian world view where technology is there to set you free," Maréchal said. Also in the latest update is the ability for users to create a unique @username from the Settings page, providing others with an easy way to contact them via Search or their t.me/username link without sharing their phone number. Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych.
